The Dawning Light is our brand-new Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition (2014) actual play campaign from the Creative Play and Podcast Network, where faith is the greatest weapon—and hope may be the last light left in a dying world.
For four centuries, the eastern continent has languished beneath the shadow of the immortal Blood King, the first known vampire. His armies of undead, monsters, and corrupted nobles rule a land of haunted forests, cursed villages, forgotten kingdoms, and broken faith. Once before, the Church of Radiance launched a great crusades to end his reign... and it failed.
Now, eight years since the 2nd crusade, a new generation answers the call.
Five clerics, each devoted to a different god but united beneath the banner of the Church, sail east as part of the Crusade of the Dawning Light. Their holy mission is simple to declare—but nearly impossible to achieve: survive the cursed land, rekindle hope among its people, reunite with the scattered heroes of the First Crusade, recover sacred relics, and ultimately confront the Blood King within the dark halls of Bloodstone Keep.
Before the crusade can even reach the shore, an unnatural storm scatters the fleet, leaving the heroes shipwrecked and alone in a kingdom where the dead refuse to rest, ancient evils stir beneath forgotten ruins, and every path hides new horrors. Will they rally the people against tyranny, uncover the truth behind the Blood King's tragic past, and succeed where countless heroes have failed?
Inspired by classic gothic fantasy and dark adventure, The Dawning Light blends epic heroism, grim horror, mystery, exploration, and unforgettable roleplaying into a long-form actual play campaign. Expect desperate battles against vampires and undead, haunted wilderness expeditions, ancient dwarven and elven ruins, difficult moral choices, divine miracles, and a story where every victory brings a fragile spark of hope to a world consumed by darkness.
Join us each episode as we forge legends, challenge the night, and discover whether the light of faith can overcome the darkness of eternity.
The Dawning Light—because even the longest night must one day face the dawn.

Iron Kingdoms: Requiem combines this fantastic setting with the newest edition of the world’s most popular roleplaying game.
Inside this book, players will find the history of the Iron Kingdoms and information describing the current state of the world following the Claiming. Alongside these chapters is an extensive gazetteer providing detailed information on the most notable of the world’s unique and fascinating locations.
When making a character, players will be able to choose from many of the familiar countries and cultures of the setting.
Whether a player wants to be a human, gobber, trollkin, Rhulic dwarf, ogrun, Iosan, or Nyss elf, this book provides all the rules that make these different peoples unique.
When choosing a class, there are options many players are already familiar with, from the stalwart man-at-arms fighter to the free-flowing monk of the Order of the Fist.
Beyond these are brand-new rules for playing the characters that make the Iron Kingdoms such a memorable setting. These new classes include, among others, gun mages, arcane mechaniks, combat alchemists, and warcasters. Alongside these options are new feats, spells, and backgrounds to make characters feel even more a part of the world of the Iron Kingdoms.
We are a group of video and tabletop RPG gamers who want to share our play throughs, joy and knowledge of games!
Oh and were not done gaming we have a new Campaign starting set in the D&D5e (2014) Iron Kingdoms Requiem Strangelight Workshop TTRPG, we will be posting new episodes in May of 2026!
